I see that hating all these agencies is somehow in vogue with certain demographics, but I truly don’t get any of it. I have a lot of family and friends that are ex military and work for various agencies.
What percentage of people have had any real life dealings with any of these agencies? The hate really comes across as some conspiracy theory boogeyman stuff. Most of the people I know in these agencies used to vote republican.


Everyone hates the IRS and always has. I think the FBI is corrupt but I also think it's still necessary and does a lot of valuable stuff.

The ATF is useless.

I'll add DOL, which is awful.

Migratory Bird Conservation Commission is an actual federal agency.

The really sad thing is they could do away with IRS if they had a federal sales tax.

If you spend money, you pay tax. You can make a bozillion dollars and as long as you spend absolutely none of it, you pay no taxes. I'm ok with this because rich folks spend lots of money.

The EPA rulings that eliminated freon propellants on Asthma puffers have killed people. Sadly, even CBS 60 minutes won't touch it. They could have allowed freon in prescription inhalers so easily, had some dick headed bureaucrat not just arbitrarily denied it because they could.

Beach Mouse police in Ft Morgan, AL. The mouse has its own state agency(money grab) going on. Just try to build something South of 180. North of 180 the beach mouse doesn’t exist.

The EPA is about 80% too big. I think it’s necessary but way over bloated and given too much stroke.


The IRS could be eliminated tomorrow, a consumption tax enacted and we would never miss a beat.

Depends largely on the news of the day, but generally, it's ATF or the FBI.

Now after the 15th, it may be the IRS, depending on what my CPA has to say.

Any that were not originally created when the constitution was ratified in 1788.

That's like saying, You can have all the money you want, but you just can't actually use it.
